Should I buy this? If you enjoy difficult games, have 100 hours of free time, and hate the idea of "fast travel", "quest markers", and "the devs caring about my time on this earth", then boy do I have a game for you. Do I have to look up a build? No, in fact it's much better if you don't. You won't know what to do with a veteran player's build, and your build is gonna be garbage no matter what you do, so just embrace it and have fun. If you're playing on easy, your build REALLY isn't your limiting factor. Your equipment is. Learn how the game's items and consumables work and you'll do fine. If you don't know what character to make then play a gun build and put skill points into stealth. Difficulty? It's a hard game. Here's my take on which difficulty to select. If you don't have much experience playing video games... How did you get here? Are you sure? Play on easy, even if you've beaten a difficult RPG before. If you have a ton of hours in at least one turn-based RPG, then maybe play on normal. Only play on hard your first playthrough if you're already highly experienced with grid-based RPG combat. Also, the experience system you choose doesn't matter much. If you like exploring, choose Oddity. If you like the options of grinding for levels choose Classic.

The game is incredibly atmospheric and immersive, with a lot of variation in gameplay depending on your build and weapons. However, this can also be a downside—if your build isn't strong, the game can become nearly impossible to complete, forcing you to search online for meta or optimal builds. The environments are stunning and unique, and you truly feel like your actions and dialogue choices impact the world around you. Even the side quests are engaging and fun, often offering surprising twists and interesting rewards that add to the overall experience.

The cRPG space is something that has been dominated by the Fantasy genre as of late, and while this is not particularly a bad thing, the landscape was starting to feel somewhat familiar, predictable. cRPGs have always been a hotbed for good writing and engaging narratives, but there really is so much you can do when you restrict yourself to elves and dwarves and dragons. While we have had cRPGs in recent years that deviate from the traditional fantasy setting (Wasteland and Rogue Trader), none have done it with such astounding success as Underrail. Brutal, minimalist, mysterious and atmospheric - An excellent feat for an isometric game. Underrail is a turn based litmus test of player patience and tactical planning, a game that will not hold your hand - but will reward ingenuity and perception - with a heavy emphasis on player freedom, this game does not ♥♥♥♥ around, and it expects you to adapt and learn your limits and your build to its purest foundation. Shooting, beating, crossbows, lasers, grenades, traps and even Psionic abilities, the game offers a wide array of player options to tackle each and every situation. You will often find yourself scraping by fights with barely any health left - getting surrounded and outmanoeuvred by your enemies - if you go in without a plan, you will almost assuredly perish. And good luck getting through Deep Caverns without a guide. But hey, are Zoners blasting you down before you can even take a turn? Craft a shield if you have the Electronics skill for it. Turn the tides on them. Are some Ironheads trying to dominate you with some sledgehammers like the pipeworker you are? Craft some bear traps and mines, let them come to you. Need to sneak into a research facility to steal a powerful object? Craft a cloaking device, and invest in the stealth skill. Or you could just blast your way in and kill everyone. Dominating is a state of mind. Not many games have a crafting system worth mentioning, in fact, most games are - if anything - hindered by their incessant desire to pad their content with borderline pointless crafting mechanics which in turn litters the overworld with all kinds of unattractive loot. But underrail? This game might just have the single best crafting system I have seen in a game, I never knew I could ever feel such active excitement in searching for weapon and shield parts, yet, here I am. Hounding all the barrels, boxes and merchants I can because I just found a new blueprint for a Thought Control Psionic enhancer headband, and by god I AM going to build it and DOMINATE my enemies with my brain. This might be the most satisfying cRPG I have ever played. But the true star of the show is everything else - Underrail is extremely unique, with a clear unwavering vision for what it wants to be - And it may also be the closest thing we have to a successor of the original Fallout games. The world of Underrail is completely fascinating and entrancing, where the surface has become uninhabitable and the remnants of humanity now live in the underground rail systems, but it's not as simple as 'The world is over' nor does the game ever attempt to explain this, but rather it goes much deeper into ideals; of man, politics, tragedy, and the human condition. The writing in this game absolutely punches above its weight, and the basic philosophy portrayed throughout show a developer who has quite the itinerary of known great literature. To top it all off, the aesthetic goes beyond just simple underground survival, and often borders into the futuristic, and even Lovecraftian themes. I'd argue this is one of the best Lovecraftian game made to this day, next to Bloodborne. The lore and world building rival that of the greats in the industry. This is the kind of game that should be world renowned and adored, beyond having a dedicated cult fanbase. I cannot talk more about the world, setting nor themes without incurring spoilers that I truly do not want to reveal. You deserve to uncover everything yourself. This has quickly become one of my favourite games of all time, there's no point even trying to cohesively structure this review beyond "It's amazing and you must get it" - if I were to go on about this game, I could be typing here for hours. It borders on being a masterpiece, with only the tedious shortcomings expected from every cRPG (Backtracking) being the one blemish in an otherwise perfect game. I haven't even touched the DLC yet, and that's where I'm heading to next. I am beyond excited for the sequel, Infusion. I'll leave this review by saying please support the developer and buy this game. Sit back, relax, and prepare to get DOMINATED.

Stepped outside the station to do the first mission, took a wrong turn, and proceeded to get ripped apart by mutated rathounds while a freaky psychic beetle slowly microwaved my brain from the sidelines. This is Metro 2033, except you're one of the random npcs that gets brutally murdered just to show the main character how dangerous the tunnels are.
